At that points, he raped her. The reporter booth has an eightpage record that includes convictions superior court jailtime and public defender joe stringer says its largely misdemeanors.

The effort to ban pet owners from leaving animals in their car has been backed by the Massachusetts Legislature and as learned, that bill is headed to the governors desk. The reporter its one of the hottest days of the year and you know the temperature inside in your car can be even warmer than the house outside. The mspca says that is no place for a pet and theyre much closer to a bill that says the same. On a sweltering day in august, the mspcas cara begins to worry. It happens too frequently and something that is very preventable. The reporter the mspca is ban pet owners from leaving your animals in cars during extreme weather. Already this year, its impacted several animals. Theres been some deaths of dogs this summer, who have been left in hot cars. The bill she is backing just passed the Massachusetts Legislature. It would also allow passersby to break windows of a vehicle where a dog is trapped if theyve unsuccessfully tried to locate the owner. This bill will prevent the suffering of animals. The reporter now theyre hoping the governor will sign it. When we asked him about it today, it sounds as likely to. We have rules in state law with respect to hot cars and child endangerment associated with that. I certainly think as a dog other than, that dog owner, there ought to be similar standards for animals as well. Massachusetts as a long history of animal protection. We have one of the earliest animal cruelty laws. Elizabeth the bills would prohibit dog tethering between 10 00 p. M. And 6 00 a. M. And when a weather vsry or warning has been issued. Vanessa mean people taking the t on this hot day are hoping its not a miserable ride. Pretty brutal. I hate this weather. I like the cold. J. Wilson.

Traffic is slow going out there in both directions. Lets go to the maps now where traffic is slow heading on 95 southbound, from 128 in canton, down to route 1 in walpole. Blair now lets show the live drivetimes out there on the thursday afternoon. The tobin bridge to 128, take you about a halfhour. Oneill tunnel to the split, 28 minutes but the weston tolls to route 1, right now that will take you police are investigating a serious stabbing in dorchester. We followed this as breaking news this morning and since then weve learned the victim is a woman and she was taken to the hospital with lifethreatening injuries. Boston e. M. S. Is reporting she was stabbed six times, just before 3 00 a. M. This morning. This is some video we shot at the scene on millet street in dorchester. Police say one person is in custody. Vanessa a busful of kids crashed into a car on the cape. These pictures here show the aftermath on route 3 near the this morning, and you can see here, the back of the car was crumpled. The crash caused a big traffic helps. The good news here state police tell us no one was hurt. Mark a New Hampshire governor Maggie Hassan was involved in a car crash today. State police there say a car went through a stop sign at high street and School Street in nashua, hitting the governors car. The state trooper driving as well as the governor herself were not injured. No word on whether the other driver will face any charges. After a couple of joint practices this wee patriots and the saints square up tonight at gillette stadium. Vanessa tom brady and gronk are expected to watch from the sidelines, but as sports director tom leyden reports, there will be a number of players making their patriots debut this evening. The reporter theres no question about that and you forgot to mention, julian edelman, hes unlikely to play tonight. I would be surprised to see him at all after he tweaked his foot the other day in practice against the saints. This is his opportunity not only many of the young guys who have been through training camp, through the mini camps, been through the otas, but the first chance to put on a uniform, get out in front of a crowd in game situations and prove what they can do, jones, Malcolm Mitchell and in speaking with mitchell yesterday, he talked about every opportunity carrying a ton of weight for a guy like him. In the situation hes in, i would assume every opportunity is a game day type of opportunity, right . Because you mess up at youre probably messing up in the game. So the best thing you can do is approach practice like youre going to play in the game. That way, youre prepared for either situation. The reporter now thats a guy were going to really keep our eye on over the next couple of weeks, because he talks a very good game, he seems to be involved in everything thats going on with this organization and well see what he can do on the field tonight. Those are the reasons why you watch these preseason games and obviously, a lot of intrigue tonight with jimmy grab low, likely getting the start. Sidelines along with Rob Gronkowski and julian edelman. Well have more as fox 25 news continues, but for now reporting live at gillette stadium, tom leyden. Lets send it back to you. It is muggy down in foxborough. They actually had a sprinkle that passed on through. Not enough rain though to allow for any relief to the drought that was updated this morning. Our current rainfall deficit, over 7 inches in boston. Over 8 in worcester. And that continues to allow us to be situation, going to have longterm effects, but northwest of boston, we actually have this air why in red, that is where we have an extreme drought situation. We have never seen this in massachusetts since weve been recording, and that was recording Drought Conditions actually started around the year 2000. So its been over 15 years. This is the worst situation weve seen to the north and west. Rainfall amounts this month, really havent been too impressive. A little bit better for for the year, over 7 inches in boston, over 8 in worcester. Rain chances actually increasing though as we head through the weekend. Slight chance this afternoon an evening especially south of the pike. Come tomorrow, well see scattered showers, possibly some thunderstorms and then those chances increase saturday and sunday, as a frontal system will be pushing on through, and with the humidity, staying oppressive, main threat is going to be some very heavy rain. Look at the dewpoints. Theyre going to be staying in the 70s. And whenou 90s, and dewpoints in the 70s, you get a heat i to 100 in spots. But let me tell you, our heat index right now, over 100 in boston, as well as the north shore. Through the merrimack valley, down across the southeast. So this is what it feels like. It feels about 10 degrees hotter than the actual temperatures. So the heat advisory that we had that went into effect at noon, it does continue until 7 00 p. M. For those very hot conditions. Perhaps drink plenty of fluids if you will be outside. One thing i want to point out, if you see the skies darkening up, threatening, there are a few showers out there, we still have a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for this storm system that dropped a good amount of rainfall, manchester actually reporting 8 inches of flooding on one of the roadways, it is pushing southeastward, that Severe Thunderstorm Warning goes until 5 30 p. M. Lots of lightning too. Otherwise, the shower that went through foxborough dying the 90s. Coolest conditions on the cape, good for you if its your week there, you have that wind off the water, but it still feels . Its sticky and the stickiest conditions, likely south of the pike, thats why we could still see an isolated shower as we head through the evening, but once that sun sets, the threat is going to be diminishing. The clouds, theyre going to probably be sticking around, although well see breaks, fog developing as temperatures overnight, look at this, youre waking up to the mid to upper 70s. Its going to be 80 degrees ate by your lunch hour, were back into the 90s. Sunshine, mixed with some clouds, some of those clouds will begin to bubble up in the afternoon. The front will bed. . Bed. . Bed. Z southward through northern new england. A few isolated showers, possibly a few thunderstorms, will develop, well have to watch this as the heat and humidity will be oppressive once again. So another heat advisory is in place from 11 00 a. M. To 7 00 p. M. , as we are expecting to see the feelslike conditions over the threat of showers since over the evening. The risk of showers and storms continue through the weekend. It will be another hot and humid day on saturday. Some slight improvement on sunday, but the real relief looks to be coming our way monday into tuesday as the front slips to our south.
